Sikorsky’s new, highly anticipated S-76D
helicopter entered the market late in 2012.
The helicopter offers customers a higher
cruise speed than its predecessor as well
as greater fuel efficiencies and quieter
operation. The S-76D is designed for use in
offshore petroleum operations, executive
transportation, search and rescue, and
emergency medical services.

During the year, the U.S. Army accepted delivery
of the 500th H-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter.
The deliveries, which began in 2007, include
aircraft contracted by the U.S. Army for several
other U.S. government agencies and foreign
militaries. Subject to annual funding approvals,
the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have agreed to
purchase a baseline quantity of 653 BLACK
HAWK and SEAHAWK helicopters over the next
five years, with an option to purchase an additional
263 under the same financial terms.

Sikorsky helicopters entered new markets
during the year. Thailand signed to acquire two
UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopters, becoming
the first country in Southeast Asia to operate
the aircraft. Sweden took delivery of its final
two of 15 UH-60M helicopters as the first
country in Europe to receive the advanced
aircraft. On the commercial aircraft side,
Sikorsky sold its first new S-76D helicopters
to customers with operations in China, Japan
and Mexico.

Sikorsky’s aftermarket company signed a four-year
agreement with the Australian Defence
Force for ongoing logistics and engineering
support for the country’s fleet of BLACK HAWK
and SEAHAWK helicopters.

Sikorsky moved forward with the development
of the CH-53K helicopter for the U.S. Marine
Corps. During the year, it delivered the first
prototype for ground-based flight systems
testing. When it enters service in 2018, the
CH-53K will be the largest heavy-lift maritime
helicopter in the world, capable of carrying a
vehicle the size of a Humvee.

Sikorsky’s revolutionary S-97 RAIDER
helicopter is now in the engineering phase
of development. The light tactical helicopter
will be able to cruise comfortably at 220
knots — nearly twice the cruise speed of
conventional helicopters — while retaining
all the attributes of today’s highest
performing helicopters.
